   Archives widget is not finding content, just defaults to current posts.
   The content is there. The previous page links at the bottom of the page find all the content fine.
   The category widget works fine and can find the content. I've deactivated and activated all the widgets 2x, removed inactive widgets and tested other archive widgets but none can find the content. I created an Archive Page, added it to the menu and pasted the code [archives] ( http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-create-an-archive#post-703054 ) it creates the list but cannot find the content.
   demo.thesensus.com

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   archives always show current content first, the older posts will be paged, depending on how many posts you display. unless I'm not understanding it sounds like it's as it should be...?

   sorry, should of explained better. If I search the archives for 2008 it will show the current posts for 2012. If I search for 2011 it will show me the current posts for 2012, etc. Seems like it will default to the current posts no matter what.

   you can test it yourself here: demo.thesensus.com

   Thanks!

   I assume you have posts from the last 4 years? the oldest I could find was Dec 1st. But the year is not displayed in the post date.

   yes, the blog was started in 2008. The posts show up in the admin panel. Looks like the first one is dated dec. 2008. All the content is in the wp-uploads folder as well.

   Thanks.

   I had this problem, and my recollection is that it was a conflict with a plug-in. See the end of this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-pages-showing-all-blog-entries

   I can't remember if that was the specific plugin I was using, but if not, it was some kind of "category" plugin. Try disabling all plugins and see if your archives work correctly. Then turn the plugins on one by one and test. That should point you to the source of the problem.

   Yes, and have you customized archive.php? I wonder if it's getting the post dates? I don't see years listed.

   no, I haven't customized the archive.php but if you can tell how to do this I will do that....could be the theme author just didn't do it.

   Sounds like this may be the problem.

   Thanks!

    also the TAGS widget seems to find content just fine as well.

    and finally, when I search by dates in the WP admin under Posts, I can find yearly content easily.

    It's most likely a plug-in conflict. See above.

    If it's a stock theme it's unlikely is has anything unussual going on for archives, but I could look at your archive.php template, if you want to post it:

    pastebin

    this is the code that the twentyten theme uses, I expect your would be similar:
    

    <h1 class="page-title">
    <?php if ( is_day() ) : ?>
    				<?php printf( __( 'Daily Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date() ); ?>
    <?php elseif ( is_month() ) : ?>
    				<?php printf( __( 'Monthly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( _x( 'F Y', 'monthly archives date format', 'twentyten' ) ) ); ?>
    <?php elseif ( is_year() ) : ?>
    				<?php printf( __( 'Yearly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( _x( 'Y', 'yearly archives date format', 'twentyten' ) ) ); ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    				 <?php _e( 'Blog Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?>
    <?php endif; ?></h1>

    If you used the archives shortcode it will only reference what you already have in your archive template.

    I'm referring to plugins, not widgets.

    Thanks Sherry,
    Sorry I actually meant plugins not widgets. I've got widgets on my brain!

    But I also did remove and then replace all the widgets on the widget page as well...

    I've been trying to trouble shoot this for a few days now.

    to my limited knowledge your code looks about normal, you should try activating another theme with no plugnins just to see what happens.
    (you can quickly deactivate/reactivate them all by temporarily renaming the plugin folder on your server)

    hmmm, seems elusive.
    I've deactivated every single plugin. Tried it one another theme and it works fine. It finds all the content from any year. But when I switch to my theme it stops finding yearly content. I searched using 2008 and it can find the content.

    here's my demo with all the plugins deactivated: demo.thesus.com

    Thanks.

    Well now you know it's your theme. Assuming it's up to date, or possibly no longer supported, you could try a custom archive template, try this , I canceled a "hack" code that was in there.

    here it is

    sorry, did you edit my http://pastebin.com/PRzY3iA3 ?

    or should there be a link on your 'try this"

    FYI: I checked and the author says her theme is compatible with WP 3.3.1

25. deepbevel

    yeah, sorry, I just added it.
    here it is again
    If the theme is up to date and running no plugins or mods, then it's a deeper problem and the author will probably have to fix it. My fix is just a shot in the dark as a work around. you could try a completely custom archive template as well, but no promise it will work.

    sorry, this is a bit new to me. So I just copy the raw paste data from http://pastebin.com/PRzY3iA3 and that will reflect your edit?

    I'll have to contact the author....

    Yes, a rather serious bug in the theme i'd say. I'll bet the author's forum has silmilar complaints. Good luck to you, and post your solution when you get it:)
